ELECTRIC SPECTAOLE, GOGGLE, on MASK LIGHT.

Application'flled March 12, 1920. Serial No. 365,2005. t

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, LADISLAUS ZAGHARA, a citizen of the United States,residing in Bremerton, in the county of Kitsap and State of Washington,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Electric Spectacle,Goggle, or Mask Lights, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in electricspectacle, goggle or mask lights, and the ob ects of my improvementsare, first: to provide means for electric snap button contact andcoupling joints, which can be used in any position and moved in radiusaround itself, and be quickly coupled together, and forming continuouscontact, one part of one conductor with the other part of the conductor,and be just as quickly discoupled and disconnected.

Second: 'To provide a switch on a spectacle, goggle or mask for breakingthe electrical current whenever wanted, as to economy and convenience.For instance a lamp being placed between the eyes or on forehead havingsingle switch.

- Third: To provide elastic flexible spring frame which is alsostiffening around the edges of a spectacle, goggle or mask so that itwill hold shape when soft, loose material".

is used, and being pliable in every direction. Fourth: To have clamps onthe other end of the feeding electrical cord conductors so that it willhold securely on battery slates,

. posts or wires and form uninterrupte continuous contact.

Fifth: To have a multiple combination bar switch on a spectacle, goggleor mask to enable the user to light any desired lamp individually, ortogether with the certain 40 lamps as may be wanted. Naturally the raysof the lamps follow the vi'sion'lines and where the light is' wantedmost, the lamp can be lighted, also colors on the lamps can be used, asfor instance signaling purposes.

:also reflector for the lamp bulb, this Sixth: To have a casing over theswitcharrangement will give the result of large increase of light andthe light can be modified by applying coloring on the outside wall ofthe outside lamp.

Eighth; To havecarrying case for electric spectacle or goggle. Thiscarrying case 0 can be used as a lantern being equipped with opening inthe front wall for the spectacle or goggle lamp light and an opening inthe lidfor a glass lens.

In the accompnying drawing Figure 1. is a front view of a spectacle,goggle or part of a mask with attached snap buttoncontactand coupling,and a single' switch, and elastic spring" stretchingframe.

As shown 1n Figs. 1, 2, 3, 4, of the drawing,

the electric spectacle, goggle or mask is provided with electric snapbutton contact coupling 6, this coupling is in a form of a button 1 fromthe outside appearance, and having 10, and insulation on the bottom 20,insi e the cap is a hollow s ace narrow in the entrance and wide in t emiddle and round to the to inside of the hollow space is a lining 12, oconductive material, th1s lining is turned to a flange 16, from the.inside to the outside, and runs around the'edge of the cap, inside ofthe first lining is a second lining 13, this lining runs parallel withthe first linin and with spaced mterwall between the first ange it isturned to a parallel flange same as the first lining.

Fig. 3. F. has between these two flanges one end of the conductor 18,placed in and tightened, and 17, is insulation for conductors 18, thisshows the securing of the conductor to the one half of theccntactcoupling button.

Fig. 4. receives the conductor the same way as Fig. 3 and forms thesecond half of the coupling; detaching one section of the button fromthe other section will break the electrical function. The feature of sec0nd half of the button is a hollow bd'wl like stem'15, which branch outto leaves or. plates A small rubber tubing 8,

19, these formin springs and when the crown is to pass t 1e narrow partof the contrary half, the plates straighten out and pass into the hollowof the first half of the button and take their original position, theflange 16, or F; come to rest against the other flange. The same featureapplies to 14, which fits tight into 15, and receives a conductor 18,between these two flanges which are conductors also; to secure thesefeatures an impression is made on the lower art of the stem above thesecond flange, a. ittle spring 11, will press against the top of thecrown and form continuous contact. revents the cord conductor from'short bendlng and breaking. A single switch 3, is provided to bring theelectrical energy to the socket 2, and movably mounted to the socketflange with rivet 5, one of the conductors leadsto eyehook 4, and theswitch bar rests in the mouth of the hook and forming contact, todisconnect the light, the bar is moved out of the contact position.

When loose material is used for the frame, an elastic stiffening frame 7is placed all around the edges or part of them to hold the shape of thespectacle, goggle or part of mask, for support band a hole 9, isprovided.

Fig. 5 shows a clamp for electric contacts and 21 shows a plate ofconductive material twice. folded forming three spaced layers; thebottom layer has a wall 22, turned up and an arch 22 therein, and a hole23 for the tenon of the lever 24. Between the view.

Fig. 6 shows the same clamp in sectional Fig. 7. shows the leverseparately and 28 I shows the tenon for the hole 23. The shoulder 29,which presses on the top of the first or top layer and the tongue thatpresses from the top of the second layer and so the electrical contactplates are fastened between the second and third layers and make perfectcontact.

Fig. 8 shows how one lamp is placed in another lamp and 51, presenting atwo wall incandescent lamp with passage in the center and filament 52,between these two walls and a small lamp bulb 53, with the filament 54,between the inside wall, so that both of these lamps can burn at thesame time or individually. The supplying of the current is made throughtheir bases and sockets 55, a bushing 56, can be inserted and made tofit the lamp bulb.

To modify the rays a coloring can be applied on the outside or insidewall 57 which will reflect to the front and back, and limit the glaringrays of the light. If glare light is wanted, glare appliance likemirroring may be used on the outside lamp. If the lamp is burned out itstill may be used as a reflector. This feature may be of great advantagewhen the light is placed on a forehead or between the eyes throwing morelight from one place.

Fi 9. shows a multiple combination bar switc on a spectacle, goggle ormask, and

-1 2' 3showing position of the lamps which will burn each individually,or one with the other, or all together just as desired or needed, theconductor 37, connecting all these lamps in the center of their sockets;36 connects socket flange to switch board, route one (counted from topdown), 35 connects socket flange .to switch board route three 36connects socket flange to route four, and

mes es the switch bar itself forms the connection of the one conductoronly, as marked 1' lever bar is placed on 1' and the live conductor 34,is connected with the conductor 36, and lamp one will burn alone, iflamp 1 and 2' shall burn the switch bar must be placed on 1 and 2 andthe lamps 1' and 2 will burn and so fort The heavy lines 33, show wherethe conductors are projecting and make their contacts, P. and N. showingand if one lamp the coupling contacts.

Fi 10 shows sectional view of the switch boar and its casing where 31shows the returned bend of the switch lever and the projecting hood overthe lower casing, both features prevent the running of water down to theswitch board. 38 shows the stop bar fastened to the casing, it can bealso fastened to the switch board itself, 41 is the upper part or hoodofthe casing, 42 is the lower part of the casing and does not project asfar out as the upper part. In the Fig. 14 is shown the stop bar for theswitch lever and 39 are stop insertions for the switch lever, and 40 areholes where the bar may be fastened, the stopping bar has the shape ofthe switchboar Fig. 11. shows a carrying case for electric spectacle orgoggle, used as a lantern that light is furnished from the spectacle orgoggle and li hts through the opening in phe front wall of the case andthe lens in the Fig. 12. shows the carrying case in open position and 44is the opening in the front wall through which a light from an electricspectacle or goggle may be ex osed. 45 is an opening in the lid 46, in wich opening a lens is placed. 49 shows the electric spectacle placed inthat case and the feeding conductors restingon the side wall 43, asupport'47, on the back of the case 1s provl ed for the carrying belt48, and so created that case lantern may be carried on the user.

Fig. 13 is another form of such carrying case; fasteners 50 keep thecase closed.

Fig. 14. shows the stopping device which has the shape of the multipleswitch itself with insertlons 39 thereon for the switch lever, whichinsertions correspond with numbers of the combination on the switchboard; holes 40 are provided for support of the device itself.
